Li Nguyen

Li Nguyen is a linguist specialising in language variation and change, contact linguistics, and computational sociolinguistics. Much of her work is corpora-based and focuses on contact phenomena in bilingual settings. Her current interests include language use in ethnically diverse communities, sociolinguistically informed NLP, and innovative technologies that can accommodate multilingual speakers. Li's current commitments are interdisciplinary projects, where she works collaboratively with computer scientists, industry partners, and policy makers to evaluate and develop educational technologies for code-switching. Before joining NTU as an Assistant Professor, she worked as Research Associate at the ALTA Institute within the Cambridge Computer Lab, Director of Studies for Linguistics at Christ's college Cambridge, and Research Fellow and Lecturer at the Australian National University. In 2022, she was sponsored by the British Academy as an Exceptional Promise for Linguistics under the UK Global Talent visa scheme. She holds a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge.
